    @ArtetlaMusique87 I removed my comment because I had misunderstood what you said, and thus my point wasn’t valid. Not sure why you’re arguing against that, but knock yourself out, I guess.

    I should organize a snowball fight and see if our government will put me in prison for that, but we’re going to need snow making machines here.

    He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent

    @CullTheLivingFlower You must be a Delta. Double Plus Ungood. Asshole.

  7. qaawale says:

    @CullTheLivingFlower I disagree with everything you said.
    You’re NOT allowed group activity unless someone ‘above’ you gives the go ahead in BOTH novels. NEF, it’s a dictator, BNW, it is a genetic ‘superior’.
    Both novels=punishment for standing out. NEF, it’s a cage with a rat on your face, BNW, it’s banishment. The constant surveillance is there in both. NEF uses cameras to keep order, BNW uses public disdain.
    now go troll off a cliff, fucker.

    @JACKtheRIPP3R189 Lol. Probably true mate. Sorry to be a bit contrarian. It’s just these TYT segments endlessly spinning the facts on the riots- giving people outside the UK a very skewed version of what’s been happening. It’s pissed off a lot of Brit viewers, especially the one’s who actually saw what happened first hand & know what they’re talking about. The police have arrested a lot of people, so there’s bound to be a small few who may be innocent. That’s why we have a judicial process.

    There’s a difference between planing a protest and planning a riot, the latter is illegal.

    @boykissboy i only corrected something no need for the dramatics

  12. JACKtheRIPP3R189 says:

    @MrDragon1968 It seems we don’t even disagree that much.

  13. MrDragon1968 says:

    @JACKtheRIPP3R189 We’ll have to just disagree. There’s been 3000 + arrests for rioting & the cops certainly did put all their effort in to stop it after it escalated- they increased nightly police coverage in London threefold. We had riot police stationed in Ealing where I live. The 4 year sentence for the 2 guys putting up pages inciting violence is OTT, but right to sentence them. The other ‘waterfight’ arrest is on evidence it was done as a cover. The courts will decide if that’s true or not.

    Why are you bringing Iran into this? Given the war drums being sounded I think it’s in poor judgement to use Iran as an example. This is about the western dictatorships. And THEIR police state. We need to roll this mother back but they keep passing the most sickenning “security” legislation while menacing the whole 3rd world in order to bring about monetary synthesization over large – and formerly sovereign – “foreign” nation states. Iran has more to fear from us than we from them. Right?

    wtf is going on in the UK? somebody needs to help cameron out with that extra hole in his head he’s been begging for.

    minority report bullshit

    @MrDragon1968 I don’t blame Brits, nor did i make any concrete statements about what is what. I said “apparently” from the outset, meaning from what can be seen from what is known. But like i said, either they wasted their time arresting people for a non-crime while other assholes are looting and burning, or they arrested people for something that’s silly to criminalize in the first place.
